It was almost noon, and it was already lunch time. However, Shao Bigang and others were not aware of hunger. Except for Zhang Jun, the twenty-three people were lying on the edge of the trench watching the tanks drive in. The others were sitting in groups of three or four in the air-raid shelter. At the entrance of the bomb-proof cave, they pricked up their ears and listened to the roar of the motor not far away. The sound of the motor was ringing in place. Many people unconsciously stuck out their tongues and licked their chapped lips, and their hearts were filled with disappointment. "Dong" jumped sharply,
The smoke had almost dispersed, and the tank crew's field of vision suddenly became wider. Under the leadership of Naokawa, twenty-one tanks, with three "Chilo" as the leader, formed a cone formation, with gaps between the tanks and good wood. The soldiers of the Yuan Brigade were ready to attack. Behind the cone formation alternated between men and vehicles, Gao Shujiayi personally led a battalion of soldiers to set up a formation in three waves of marching.
At this time, Gao Shujiayi picked up the walkie-talkie and began to call for artillery support, and then issued a speech saying: In order to maintain the dignity of the Imperial Army of Japan, he decided that the entire team would have a collective meal after arriving at Wen'an City, in order to give the arrogant Renqiu government and A painful lesson learned from the military division,
Shooting Zhu Yuan has long been better, and after the previous shooting, there is almost no need to aim. With a wave of Doihara's right hand, more than a dozen cannonballs roared towards the first trench.
The tenacity of the military training division exceeded Doihara and Nakano's expectations. The attack did not go as smoothly as the previous deduction. Although the message sent by Gao Shujiaichi caused huge damage to the enemy, even the enemy's first line of defense was There was no breakthrough, so what's the point of doing more damage?
Just now, Doihara received a telegram from Takashi Sakai from Yidong, saying that there was internal strife in Yidong and that Yin Rugeng's puppet army was temporarily unable to travel, so he must form a de facto breakthrough against Wen'an as soon as possible. Only in this way, Yidong Only then can all the puppet forces in the East unite their thoughts and completely obey Yin Rugeng.
"These Chinese people are just helpless people. This Yin Rugeng is too lackadaisical. He can't even handle such a small thing!" Doihara was filled with hatred after reading the telegram, but he had no choice but to secretly ask Amaterasu for help. So that he can take down Wen'an in one go. Otherwise, not to mention the domestic ministers will take the opportunity to launch an attack. Even Nanjiro will not have a hard time. The Japanese army has a tradition of disobeying domestic orders, such as the "December 28th Incident" In fact, it was initiated by a few officers without authorization, and the reason why those officers were not held accountable and received praise after the incident was because they brought practical benefits to Japan.
Under Doihara's insistence and command, this round of shelling lasted for half an hour. The few dozen cannons only stopped when the trench was almost flattened.
As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, Gao Shujiayi, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately issued the order to attack. After a while, the tank's motor roared again, and then, more than two thousand Japanese soldiers moved forward in a mighty manner under the cover of more than twenty tanks. The first line of defense of the Xubing Division rushed over,
"Zhang Jun, are you okay?" After the gunfire stopped, Shao Bigang peeled off the dust covering his body and asked loudly,
During the previous shelling, many of the entrances of bomb-proof caves and air-raid shelters were buried with soil. Fortunately, everyone stayed at the cave entrances and cleaned them up in time. No one was buried alive, but several people died on the spot.
Zhang Jun had been lying in a bunker made of dirt beside the trench. A shell exploded next to him and broke his left calf. He endured the pain and responded loudly: "I'm fine, Japs. The Japs have begun to attack." Already."
"Fang Zhengyun." Shao Bigang started to name names,
"I am here."
...After half an hour of shelling, only fifteen of the twenty-three people were left alive. Shao Bigang felt a little guilty and asked: "Brothers, do you regret staying?"
Zhang Jun said loudly: "If you don't regret it, we will be a good man again in twenty years."
"Brothers."
"Batalion Commander, you should withdraw."
"I have broken a leg. Instead of living in an ignoble way, I might as well trade this broken body for a tank. Do you still remember the key points of the attack I mentioned before?"
"Remember, wait until the Japanese tanks want to drive over us..."
Zhang Jun shouted loudly: "It's less than 200 meters away."
Everyone stopped talking. For a moment, the surrounding air became a little solemn.
There was a violent explosion, and the little devil's tank began to fire. "Damn, I remember I haven't tasted a woman yet." A soldier nicknamed Lao Genzi said as he opened the shell gun. bolt action,
"Old Genzi, I will definitely find a wife for you when I go to hell." Shao Bigang said swornly,
"Battal Commander, you must keep your word. I want to marry someone like Nurse Pan."
"You are so greedy, but she is our master's wife."
Amidst the increasingly loud roar of the motor, Lao Genzi smiled "hehe". At this time, Zhang Jun shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, I'll go first." Then, a cloud of soil suddenly flew over Shao Bigang's head. Getting up, Zhang Jun jumped out of the bunker with one leg,
"Ta-ta-ta." "Bang, bang,..." Immediately, the sound of machine guns and rifles rang out. Shao Bigang and Lao Genzi, who was closest to him, looked at each other, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
There were only more than a hundred meters left from the Xuebing Division's first line of defense. Naokawa suddenly had a trance feeling that the enemy's position was too quiet. If it had been just now, the opposite side would have been "ping ping ping ping ping ping ping" just now. "There was a loud noise. This excessive silence made people feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He said loudly on the walkie-talkie: "Please stay alert, machine gunner, aim at the edge of the trench."
"Hai."
There were still fifty meters away from the trench, and it was still quiet on the other side. Naokawa swallowed and shouted: "Speed up, speed up, rush over, and the 'Bei Man' behind will take cover."
The three "Qi Luo" neatly emitted a large amount of black smoke, and their speed suddenly increased to the limit. They quickly rushed towards the clearly visible trench in front. The Bean Chariot behind them split into two parts, and one part accelerated. Some stopped and fired fiercely at suspicious targets.
When Liangmu Yuan saw the chariot starting to accelerate, he waved his hand holding the pistol and shouted at the same time: "The soldiers in front are preparing for hand-to-hand combat." In his shout, the Japanese followed closely behind the three "Qi Luo" The soldiers started running and pulled the bolt of their guns to discharge the bullets, while the Japanese soldiers from the group commanded by Gao Shujiayi dispersed in all directions. According to the three-wave advance method, the Japanese soldiers in the first wave lay down on the spot and set up their rifles. Machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers were aimed in the direction of the trench. The Japs behind them crossed about fifty meters. The Japs in the second wave also lay down, and the Japs in the first wave got up. The Japanese from the third wave passed through the second wave and rushed forward behind the Liangmu Yuan brigade...
Gao Shujiayi's arrangement can be said to be the key to the death squad's desire to trade his body for a tank. Zhang Jun had just rushed out of the bunker when hundreds of 38 rifles and several crooked machine guns roared at the same time. His body had not yet stretched out. , dozens of bullets hit him at the same time, and the huge impact caused his body to hang in the air for a moment. Later, he fell to the ground like an empty sack.
"Alert." Being frightened by the first attack from the military training division, Ryogi Moto shouted instinctively. Naokawa was facing the direction where Zhang Jun was rushing towards him and saw the bundle of grenades under his arm. He couldn't help but He was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat, and then roared like crazy: "Attack, attack at full speed."
Not hearing the violent explosion, Shao Bigang and others' hearts sank. They all clearly guessed Zhang Jun's fate. Shao Bigang stood up violently, formally supporting his body with a stick, and a bundle of grenades tightly under his armpits. Holding it tightly, the index finger of his left hand reached into the pull ring, ready to pull it at any time. His eyes were surprisingly calm. People who didn't know the truth might think that he was falling into something when they saw his expression at this moment. in memory,
Lao Genzi breathed heavily, feeling an unprecedented pressure oppressing his heart. He looked at the battalion commander not far away, and got a little comfort from his calm expression. He coughed twice and cleared his mind. After clearing her throat, a tone-deaf melody blurted out a little abruptly, "Send off comrades on the journey..."
A sense of tension and oppression descended on every soldier who volunteered to stay. They stood or squatted, holding the cluster grenades tightly in their arms, with their fingers inserted into the tabs, ready to detonate at any time. His eyes were fixed on the top of the trench, waiting for the steel monster to appear.
In view of the previous experience where the death squads were almost wiped out, Shao Bigang believed that the best way to die with the enemy's "turtle cars" was not to rush out of the trenches and actively seek them out, but to wait in the trenches. Zhang Jun's sacrifice proved his decision. The correctness of this also strengthened the dead soldiers' belief that they would win. Many people shouted in their hearts: "Come on, come on, come on me." They just hoped that they would not die in vain, and they had to catch up with someone no matter what. A "turtle car" is not considered a loss,
The track of a "Chilo" quickly stepped onto the trench, and its front end immediately hit the other end of the trench. The tank did not sink as expected. The Japanese driver Masao Asakiro sighed with emotion, "Chilo" "The span of 2.5 meters is not false. I was relieved in my heart when I heard the Okakura sword above made a ghostly cry, and then, there was a muffled sound of "boom" and a thick smoke mixed with flames. Submerged his field of vision, the chariot was shaking violently, and a hole was opened on the side. Several shrapnels pierced into his body with the help of fireworks. He only felt a pain, and his vision was sunny just now. All of a sudden it turned into darkness, and the world seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
